If you’re a fan of “Dear White People,” it’s pretty clear that while the entire cast is stellar, Ashley Blaine Featherson’s Joelle is a fan favorite. But a huge complaint about season one of Justin Simeon’s hit Netflix show was that Joelle was more a sidekick than an actual fleshed out character.

But no worries! In season 2, Joelle gets her own episode and trust me when I say…it’s everything! The amazingly written and acted episode addresses colorism, hoteps, self-esteem and dating. And from the looks of it, folks on Twitter are absolutely loving it.

Take a look at the praise Featherson is receiving not just for episode 5, but for her amazing performance throughout the entire new season.

@AshleyBlaine truly loving the character development of joelle. shes my favorite. you bring the relatable vibes so well... shoutout to writers for draggin that hotep. i literally screamed at that scene 😂😂😂

I am in awe. Trevor the Hotep - misogynist, sexist, homophobia, colorist, ethnocentric - was probably the best turn of events this show could tackle. @AshleyBlaine is a vision in this role; Joelle is a whole spin-off by her damn self. Funny, nuanced, beautiful, and brilliant #DWPpic.twitter.com/ALM1BpYxoH

The character development in Season 2 of Dear White People surpasses Season 1 and gives the actors a lot of room to play. @AshleyBlaine shined in Season 1 but my goodness, she really makes Joelle stick with you in Season 2 😍👏💕

I am sooooo here for @AshleyBlaine Joelle!!!!! I relate to her in so many ways! The necessary way you read hotep Trevor to filth. Thank you. Thank you for addressing the issue of under appreciated darker skinned Black women. So much life given in 30 minutes. #DearWhitePeoplepic.twitter.com/iloHLk9Njb

Y’all have ZERO right to make a show that I can cry, laugh, and relate to ALL IN ONE EPISODE. I hate y’all. Like not really, I fucking love y’all and Joelle is my experiences personified, but I HATE (fucking love) y’all. @DearWhitePeoplepic.twitter.com/9k1nZHeZDe

It's Joelle's episode! Been waiting on this since season one. Also, jumping from your valedictorian speech into the negro national anthem is the blackest thing I've seen this year, right behind Black Panther. #DearWhitePeople

Joelle: IT'S ABOUT TIME SHE GOT HER OWN EPISODE!! Everything that came out of her mouth was just straight facts!! When she found out the guy was a hotep I lost it ☠️😂 I'm so glad she finally got together with Reggie!!overall she's THE most underated character for sure pic.twitter.com/A3jMxFYw9o

Sis please, I’ve binged it already. You snapped this season. Loved it and can’t wait to see what’s next. Your character still has that round the way black girl charm. The writers did you right and I’m here for it.
